NORMAN HELMER. (Continued from first page.) of a police officer in Minneapolis, the death of Officer Frazier in a street car in St. Paul, the death of the dep- “uty sheriff at. Walker, and Helmer’s death suggest to our mind that per- haps many of us are in a measure responsible for the condition of mind that exists with many, which makes it possible for them to contemplate the taking of the life of an officer. How many times have we by some act or word or smeer suggested to some fertile mind the idea that the life of an officer of the law is of but little consequence? How often have We by some act or suggestion hinder- ed in the enforcement of the law? How often have we sneered at the officer striving as best he can to per- form his duty? About a year ago the brave officers of this county met in almost deadly conflict part of the yeggmen that had caused a reign of terror in northern Minnesota for months and I fear that on many occasions, in many places, public as well as somewhat private, we have said things and done things which did not show a proper appre- ciation upon our part of the price paid by these officers in their efforts to bring to an end this increasing reign of terror. There was, no doubt, in the mind of Helmer’s assassin a wholesome contempt for officials, How much are we responsible for that condition in his mind and for similar conditions in the minds of others is a question that we may well take home with us from this oc- casion and solve with a view of so conducting ourselves in the future as not to be a party shaping the minds of any man so that he will entertain a contempt for officers that are charg- ed with the duty of protecting us, our property and our lives. This is an excellent occasion for us to fully resolve that in the future ‘we will uphold the arm: of every offi- cer in his effort to preserve order and remove from society those men whose presence threatens our safety and our lives. Let us fully resolve that in every act and every deed, in every word we speak we will teach the doctrine that every loyal and brave officer is entitled to the support at all times of every citizen entitled to liberty, and that to him who shall take the life of an officer shall come speedy vengeance highly tempered with a righteous wrath. And if we keep this resolution, then may our brave and fearless officers now on duty have some support and then may they realize that should their lot lie along with those of Norman Helmer, their deeds will not be forgotten and their memory will ever be kept bright. But unless some such im- provement follows this sad affair, then Norman Helmer paid too great a price. But if through his death there shall grow up a better regard for the true and brave officer, a fir- mer determination to support him at all times, active assistance whenever needed, a proper appreciation of what he does, a realization on the part of yeggmen and thieves and murderers that the public is behind its officers at all times and that ven- gence is ours, then, possibly, will the benefits from Helmer’s death in some slight measure equal the cost. I am . informed that Mr. Helmer never associated himself with any church. But the simple life he led, the friends he made, the many acts of kindness done, the charity he be- stowed, secured for him a high place among his fellowmen. It must be that He, who doeth all things well, must have arranged some future for those who live the upright, honest, true life on this earth. He who has satisfied us so well must surely meet with some approval from his Creator. Somewhere, sometime, in some way, Norman Helmer will surely receive a rich reward in the future his con- duct on earth has earned for him. He may have erred. It is human to err. But his erorrs are so small and of such slight consequence that we have written their record upon the shifting sands. His good deeds, we have recorded upon the tablets of our memory, never to be erased. CAN MAIL CLERKS STRIKE? Washington, Aug. 14.—An attempt to amend the postoffice appropriation bill to prohibit postal employes from joining secret organizations outside the department, was defeated in the senate yesterday, 31 to 20, after a sharp fight in which the possibility of a strike against the government was discussed. Senator LaFollette yesterday re- fused to go further with his charge that his mail had been rified by post- office officials who wanted to know about an investigation into service conditions the senator was conduet- ing. Officials of the department char- acterized the charge as absurd. Mr. LaFollette’s investigation related to the right of postal employes to or- ganize. ‘When the provision came up Sen- ator Smith of South Carolina claimed flatly that postal employes had a right to strike. Senator Root and Senator Sutherland attacked that contention sharply. “The next step would be a strike of the military and naval force and other government employes,” declar- ed Senator Root. ‘we know, we would have no govern- ment.” Senator Smith replied that soldiers and sailorg were held by enlistment contracts. “Does the senator know what hap- pened in France when the postal and telegraph employes struck against the government?” queried Semator ‘;flmrlum. ‘ : do not want to compare the Am- “The next thing|. | erican people with the effervescent spirit of the people of France,” re- plied Senator Smith. *: Senator Srawford declared Senator Smith’s proposal would give the gov- ernment’s approval to postal employ- es aiding sympathetic strikes, which might menace the governmental ser- vice, or of joining some “dynamiters’ organization.” FUND INVESTIGATIONS. Washington, Aug. 14.—Represen- tative James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chairman of the Democratic congres- sional committee in 1908, today told the senate campaign fund investigat- ing committee he had no. absolute record of his committee’s receipts and expenditures of that year, but he was certain that the receipts were $27,- 600 and the expenditures about $100 less. The sale of campaign literature brought in $7,000. Charkes A. Keane of New York turned in $1,600 for speeches he desired to have distribut- ed. Champ Clark and Francis Bur- ton Harrison were the principal con- tributors from the floor of the house, each giving $200. Other members contributed amounts ranging from $25 up. Through Senator Jones of Arkansas $3,500 was turned into the commit- tee. Mr. Lloyd did not know from what sources the contribution came. Herman Ridder of New York contrib- uted $250, said Mr. Lloyd, and so did W. G. Conrad of Montana, and R. P. Daniel of Kentucky. Former Governor B. B. Odell of New York is expected to testify to- morrow about the Harriman contri- bution of 1908. Parker-Langhorne Wedding. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 14.—So- ciety in the Bast as well as in San Francisco displayed a lively interest in today’s wedding of Miss Julia H. Langhorne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James P. Langhorne, and Lieutenant James Parker of the United States Navy. The bride was born and rais- ed in Virginia and is a first cousin of the famous beauties immortalized by Charles Dana Gibson, of whom one is the wife of the artist and another, Mrs. Waldorf Astor, of London. Lieu- tenant Parker, the bridegroom, is the son of Col. James Parker of the Eleventh Infantry, now stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and a nephew of former Congressman Richard Wayne Parker of New Jersey. Frontier Celebration Begins. Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 14— Throngs of visitors from Denver and the East arrived in Cheyenne today for the opening of the sixteenth an- nual Frontier celebration. Fully 5,- 000 people are guests of the city al- ready and every train is crowded to its utmost capacity. Many cowboys are in the city from all parts of Wyo- ming, and_they, with the Indiang in their red and yellow blankets, are at- tracting much attention from the visitors. The festivities will con- tinue until the end of the week. Among the events on the program are roping and bucking contests for the world’s championship, shooting competitions, cowboy races, exhibi- tions of fancy riding, Indian races, branding contests and military man- euvers by a detail of United States troops from Fort D. A. Russell. Meeting of Lutheran Synod. Saginaw, Mich., Aug. 14.—Dele- gates from every Lutheran synod of the United States are attending the synodical conference which assem- bled here today for a week’s session. All branches of denominational work will be discussed by the conference and on Sunday next a special meet- ing will be held in the Auditorium for the consideration of negro mis- sionary work. Wisconsin Women’s Golf Tourney. Kenosha, Wis., Aug. 14.—A bevy of fair golfers thronged the links of the Kenosha Country club today at the opening of the annual champion- ship tournament of the Wisconsin Woman’s Golf association. Three- score of prominent players represent- ing fifteen clubs are entered in the tournament, which is to continue un- til the end of the week. Sounded That Way. Miss Brown was giving an elaborate description of a blacksmith prepara- tory to teaching Longfellow’s poem to her puplls: “Now children, we are golng to learn a poem todqy about some one who works very hard. He is very large and has great arms that can litt such heavy things! His face is blackened with soot that comes from his great blazing fires! And he wears & dirty black apron and he has a fire that glows, oh, so red, and whenever he makes anything he put it into his fire and then pounds it with a great big hammer, which makes the loudest clanging noise and makes the sparks fly about in every direction. Now, who can tell me what I have been describ- ing?” A little mald who had listened to these vivid detalls with eyes twice their natural size sprang to her feet and said in an-awed whisper: “The devil."—Housekeeper. A Sure Test. “Have you proposed yet to that North Side girl?” “I can’t seem to get a chance.” “Can’t get a chance, eh? Better turn your attentlon else- where, then. If your girl wished fit, you would get & chance all right suough.” ASEBALL / Lo R R R R ORCECRCRCR R & STANDING OF THE CLUBS. © 2000000000 0000¢ National League. Won Lost P.C.

MODERN BASEBALL IS FASTER Nothing to Be Accomplished b Wordy Controversy on Merits of Old and Young Players. < There may be some good accom- plished from a wordy controversy whether or not baseball is faster than it used to be, but just exactly how this is to effect the cost of living is not so perfectly apparent, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. The old fellows who have had their day and who are continually looking backward, seem to think that they played faster and better in the olden time, but the young men who are now engaged in making baseball history are dead sure the old timers were truck horses in -comparison with them. There is no reason why the old- timers could not hit a ball just exact- ly as hard; run just as fast and fleld Just as accurately. It may be that owing to the development of pitching they would not have an opportunity to hit and run as often, and inside baseball may be developed more than it was in the olden times, but grant all this and what’s the answer? It pleases us who remember some of the old-timers to think they were just as good as the best, but it may be that we are mistaken. At that, it is pretty bard to see what is going to be accomplished by the disillusion- ment. If the men of today are much better than they used to be, let it go at that. Nothing can be accomplish- ed by arguing this question any more than can be by indulging in a con- troversy over politics or religion.
